Liverpool are looking to fortify Senegalese star Sadio Mane by signing a new contract that will make him the highest paid club, ahead of Egyptian teammate Mohamed Salah, who is currently ranked with a weekly salary of a quarter million dollars.
Liverpool extended the 27-year-old contract in November last year to 2023, but he made a big jump in his form and ended last season as the joint winner - with Salah and Arsenal striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang - with the Golden Boot as the Premier League's top scorer with 22 goals. .
The season also started well and helped the Reds to the top of the Premier League by scoring four goals - the same balance for Salah - in five victories achieved by the team, and put his mark by scoring in the European Super Cup that capped the Reds.
According to the newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" that Liverpool are ready to reward Mani by extending his contract until 2025, in exchange for doubling his weekly salary to 275 thousand dollars, to pass Salah by 25 thousand.
Liverpool are set to face Chelsea in Sunday's Premier League clash with 15 points, five ahead of champions Manchester City.
